Chapter 899 - 919: Snatching Xia Xiaonuan Back 2
The sculpture-like cheeks, under the light, possess a kind of hazy beauty. The pain and confusion in his eyes seem to break one’s heart at a glance.
The man slightly parted his sexy thin lips, and from his throat came a series of low, hoarse, confused sounds.
For a moment, it was unclear what he was saying.
Gradually, however, the sound became clear; it was certain that he was reciting Xiaonuan’s name.
"Xiaonuan... Xia Xiaonuan..."
He placed his hand over his heart, staring at a point in front of him, the arrogant brows containing countless tender feelings.
It seemed as though the person called Xiaonuan was right beside him, smiling warmly at him.
He finally understood that the scene at the airport was not intended to make fun of him.
It was because her heart was also in torment. She must have misunderstood him and Jiang Xue, thinking that with Jiang Xue’s arrival, he would let go!
That foolish woman, he did once love Jiang Xue.
But... it was like a naive first love, satisfying enough to remain in memory.
And now, the person he desires the most is only her, Xia Xiaonuan!
It was only after losing her that he realized his world had already been filled by her.
No one else could ever enter his heart again.
Xia Xiaonuan, now that I know everything, I won’t let you and the baby stay wronged by another man.
Rest assured, I will definitely win you back!
Situ Yan, I will definitely... make you pay the deserved price!
*************************
The plane glided across Australia’s azure sky.
Melbourne Airport. Xia Xiaonuan followed Situ Yan off the plane.
The climate here is quite warm, Xia Xiaonuan had already removed her coat, draping it on her arm, wearing just a T-shirt, yet still felt a bit stuffy.
The airport was bustling, filled with faces from various countries.
Two disguised bodyguards were carrying their luggage behind them.
As they exited the passage, they saw many people holding signs not far away, among them a dozen tall, suited brown-haired, blue-eyed men approaching them. They stopped in front of Situ Yan, respectfully looking at him and bent down with joy, saying, "Yandi, you’ve returned!"
Situ Yan smiled slightly, holding Xia Xiaonuan’s hand, saying, "This is Xia Xiaonuan."
The leading man stepped forward, looked at Xia Xiaonuan, and excitedly said in English, "Presumably, this is our future Empress. Empress, the Liro Empire welcomes you!"
Saying this, he bowed deeply to Xia Xiaonuan.
Meanwhile, the row of blond men behind him all echoed joyfully and respectfully, "Welcome home, Yandi and Empress!"
Xia Xiaonuan was stunned; she was a half-baked English speaker and only caught the welcome part in English, so she didn’t think much about it and just smiled back.
"Thank you!" she said in English.
Situ Yan lowered his head deeply regarding Xia Xiaonuan, a trace of amusement flashed through his blue eyes.
The man in front looked around at the chaotic crowd, stepped forward, saying, "Yandi, it is unsuitable to linger here; let’s head back first."
"Alright." Situ Yan nodded, looking at Xia Xiaonuan, he said in English, "Wife, let’s go."
Xia Xiaonuan looked at Situ Yan, blankly nodding.
Situ Yan’s smile grew wider, while Xia Xiaonuan was completely unaware that her English illiteracy had led Situ Yan to take verbal advantage.
He naturally clasped Xiaonuan’s hand; although she couldn’t understand the words, she understood his body language. Xia Xiaonuan felt a bit embarrassed and tried to withdraw her hand, but he held it tightly, giving her no chance to resist, pulling her along forward.
Seeing the many people around, Xia Xiaonuan dared not make too large a movement, and could only follow him, heading outside.
Four people led the way in front, while four others and two bodyguards guarded from the rear.
Xia Xiaonuan was astounded by the setup.
The two were just deboarding; was it necessary for Situ Yan to summon so many people, making it seem like an emperor’s entourage?
Little did she know, besides these men, numerous disguised bodyguards were lurking, posing as followers, protecting them.
Just as the two were about to exit the airport, suddenly two rag-worn elderly approached the front bodyguards, saying, "Spare some change..."
One proceeded towards Xia Xiaonuan.
Reaching out both hands.
Xia Xiaonuan paused.
"Get lost!" One of the men stepped forward, kicking at the beggar.
Xia Xiaonuan was shocked, but unexpectedly, the man deftly dodged, suddenly pulling out a gleaming machete, slashing towards Situ Yan beside her.
"Ah—!" A scream erupted as Situ Yan deftly sidestepped the blade.
The man chased, chopping at Situ Yan. As the knife rose towards the sky, "Bang!" A bullet struck his head.
Meanwhile, Situ Yan suddenly pulled Xiaonuan aside and shifted.
"Bang" echoed a gunshot. A passerby was shot, collapsing on the ground.
The airport instantly erupted into chaos, as several helmeted, masked men appeared, rushing towards Situ Yan with raised pistols.
The nearby bodyguards immediately drew their guns, shielding Situ Yan and Xia Xiaonuan. The air exploded with gunfire, many masked men fell to the ground.
Two bodyguards were hit, instantly falling down.
The airport descended entirely into chaos, screams and frantic escapes echoed.
Everyone grabbed their luggage stirring a frenzy.
Xia Xiaonuan was utterly terrified, as Situ Yan pressed her against his chest, whispering reassuringly, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here, it’ll be fine!"
A group of bodyguards and helmeted men engaged in an intense shootout, resembling an action film.
Xia Xiaonuan felt the warmth of Situ Yan’s chest, beside her were screams and gunfire, her mind almost blank.
Situ Yan grabbed her, the bodyguards escorted them, sprinting towards the outside car.
Several helmeted men emerged, hitting the bodyguards shielding Xia Xiaonuan, who screamed and fell. One aimed his gun at her.
Xia Xiaonuan widened her eyes in disbelief, as Situ Yan suddenly raised his hand, bullets flying, that person instantly fell, yet another bullet simultaneously came their way. The bodyguards rolled on the ground firing at the enemies, leaving only the both of them on their side,
Seeing this, Situ Yan pulled Xiaonuan fiercely towards him, flipping over.
Xia Xiaonuan only heard a "Bang!" sound.
Then Situ Yan had already hurriedly pulled her into a car, opened the door, and darted inside.
The driver was already inside, rapidly started the car.
Several people chased them, firing at the car; Situ Yan forced Xiaonuan down onto the seat.
"Get down! Don’t move!"
